LAHORE: The counter-terrorism department (CTD) of Punjab police killed new leader of the proscribed outfit Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), along with three more militants, in an operation, it said Wednesday.

The killings came 18 months after police gunned down longtime notorious Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) leader Malik Ishaq in a separate encounter.

Among the four militants killed on Tuesday night was Asif
Chotoo, also known by the name Rizwan, who was named LeJ chief
following Ishaq’s death, the CTD said. “He was now heading Lashkar-e-Jhangvi,” read a statement.

Good job. Keep it up. Don’t listen to those who are against staged police encounter. Unfortunately, that’s the only way to get rid of rogue elements. The judicial system in Pakistan is too weak to deal with these rogue elements.Recommend
